Failure to Thrive - Not growing and weird feet

RIR are larger than most EE's. The picture looks like a normal EE pullet for the age. A bit of curl on toes is not uncommon. Do her legs always turn in, or is that just the way she is standing in the picture?
 
They seems to be curling to the side. At the moment it's super minor (this situation just started). I'll see if I can post a video. I just went to the feed store and got Rooster Booster Liquid B-12 Plus Vitamin K Chicken Supplement. It doesn't get picked on by the others and it's able to eat and drink fine. Side note, I'm not sure of it's sex. Do you think it's a hen?
Curled toes to the side are fairly common, and should not affect her in any way. I have had a few hens with that, and they could roost normally. If seen in the first couple of days of life, crooked toes may be taped in normal position on the top and bottom. But after that it would be too late and painful.
 
Most hens have those buds on the skin where spurs grow, but I did have one RIR female with spurs. She laid eggs and acted like a normal hen.
